I'm nearing the end of sanity in my job search and have hit the deadline I set for myself in finding a job that is a good fit. I told my wife a while back that February 5th would be the day I start out for Lowe's and the land of $9/hr and a "life-sucking" JOB. I have had a hard time finding companies that I could picture myself working for here in the Chattanooga, so one of my questions what ways can I narrow my job search in order to find companies with a great established CS team and ethic? I…See More

I suppose I should give an explanation of the title. Pretty sure it's french and I'm pretty sure it means that everything is in it's place. I took the idea from Peter Reinhart's Bread Baker's Apprentice. He lays it out in the book as gathering the ingredients measuring everything out and having it ready to go.

"I'm by far not the most educated person on here to comment but, the niche you've outlined seems like a fairly broad niche, wiki suggests that 10% of the population is left handed, that's still pretty huge. I'd guess that…"

This blog is my chronicle. I'm hoping it will be an epic of transformation on what I am learning as a man and entreprenuer. I'm not sure if starting a business to develop myself into a stronger man is a great idea, if it's too much risk with my wife and 15 month old daughter. I'm sure though that I need accountability, and that I don't have people running up and making me accountable. There aren't people around me challenging me constantly, because I'm not in a place where I have to raise the…See More

"Anthony thanks for your feedback, as far as the thrust of my business it is very much centered around the simplicity and freshness of bread. In that way doing bread pairings (i.e. the oil, bruschetta, or cheese) is a concerted effort to stay simple,…"

Profile Information

How did you hear about 48Days.NET, and what do you hope to get out of being a part of this community?

Podcasts, 48days, No More Mondays, are vehicles motivating and inspiring me to open my own mobile bakery. I'm looking for resources and encouragement from this community

What is your current work situation? Employee, self-employed, generating any income on your own?

Working on a family project building a home, and internet relevance job and in the planning/startup stages of my business

And then...what is your goal/dream for your work life?

End goal of this business is having a mobile bakery that I can be around my family and prepare bread and then sell it on the streets- fresh. I am looking for a schedule that I can dictate so I can make sure I am around my kids and wife when they need me.

How about your personal life? Any specific goals or achievements or dreams you are pursuing (or want to pursue)?

Personally, I want to become more active. I want to do a hike more than 60 miles, in the next 5 years I want to hike around the bottom of Mt. Rainier. I want to become a more avid reader at least 2 books a month

If you have a product or service to promote (now or in the near future) this is your shot to state it! Say all you'd like:

Armstead Co.-- providing Chattanooga simple bread pairings. Our goal is to get our freshest bread to the hands of the streets. Current offering are our signature Epi loaves with our special Olive oil dipping Sauce, bruschetta, or your choice of cheese. Eat it while you walk or bring home a fresh loaf to the family for dinner.
